"Today's lunch is cabbage soup with bread, and because there are guests coming, there are extra fruit snacks~"
Apple Blossom served the children with food and said with a smile. Although her voice was not so pleasant and the food was not so rich, the children were still very happy talking to each other about happy things. I don’t know when even Lansha
Both Mamo and Mamo have fully integrated into this small family and have become friends with some children they have just met but are much younger than themselves.
What made Art a little bit confused was that this orphanage, which was already in decline, had only one doll left to take care of it, but judging from the performance of the children, it had very stable funds or material income.
Who is providing food here? Art has some doubts in his heart. Although it has nothing to do with him, he is still a little curious.
"Hey, big brother, is it okay? I will give you all the money I have saved..." The boy next to him may have felt a little ashamed, but he just begged Art in a low voice and kept shaking.
his arms.
"Really?" Art shrugged, smiled slightly helplessly, turned to him and asked: "How much money did you save? How did you save it?"
"I have thirty-five copper coins, which I earned by pulling weeds from Grandma Sima's garden next door..." Perhaps he also realized that the coins in his hand were too few, and his voice became softer and softer, but in the end
, but you suddenly remembered something, became energetic, and said to Art: "But Rick and the others are also rich! They must also hope that Mother Apple Blossom will get better! They must be willing!"
"In total, if I have one gold coin, maybe I can repair it properly." Art shook his head and said regretfully: "The cost of repairing the doll is really expensive, and for high-level damage like Apple Blossom, at least, her
The entire left foot needs to be replaced, which is worth about three gold coins."
"Three, three gold coins?!" The boy was stunned for a moment. Three gold coins... This was a huge sum of money that he could not even imagine.
"Yes, the body parts of the dolls are very expensive."
At this point, Apple Blossom had already arrived in front of Art. After giving him a kind smile, a steaming soup of bread was placed in front of him, along with a small plate of sand fruit or apple puree.
And Art naturally gave her an innocent smile back. Apple Blossom was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gently stroked his head, and then went to deliver food to the others.
"But, as long as you can chat with me, or come with me to chat with your Apple Blossom mother, I can't help you." Art stirred the soup with a knife and fork, and smelled the fruit puree.
The smell confirms that this is Shaguo.
"Really!" Hearing Art's words, the boy slapped the table in surprise, stood up and asked, forgetting that this was the dining table for a moment, attracting the attention of other children around him and Apple Blossom.
"Marin, don't do this while eating!" Apple Blossom shook her head at the boy slightly dissatisfied, and said, "And the guest is right next to you, it will scare him."
"Uh, I'm sorry..." The boy named Marin apologized awkwardly to Apple Blossom and sat back down in despair.
"Really? Is this really all that's needed?" After sitting down, Marin asked Art in a low voice, his tone full of excitement.
"Of course." Art nodded without hesitation. After some previous observations, Art had confirmed that the model of the Apple Blossom doll was the same as the limbs of some of the dolls in his collection. Those he had collected earlier.
The limbs finally have a use. Although the profit is not high, keeping it now is a waste of space, and selling it makes me feel a bit of a loss. It is better to use it in areas that interest me.
For example, the riot ten years ago and the financial resources of this orphanage.
After making such an agreement, the child named Marin suddenly felt much better. He quickly took Art to finish dinner, summoned some other children, and gathered in a small dormitory.
"...These things haven't been repaired yet, so don't step on them!"
It happened to be the same room where Teal was fixing things...
After Marin explained it to the other children, they all believed Art's statement.
"As long as you can really fix Mother Apple Blossom, I will answer whatever you ask!" The oldest child looked at Art with a little vigilance. He felt a little confused now, obviously the boy in front of him
He was about the same age as himself, but it felt a bit like he was facing an adult.
"But Art, what do you want to ask them?"
"Yes, is there anything strange about this matter?"
Lanza and Mamo, who had gotten into a group with them, were naturally pulled in. A group of people sat around Art, and the beds above and below were also full of people. It looked like a top student having a meeting in the dormitory.
During the pre-exam study session, the students swarmed around me and occupied every available seat.
"Just listen, it's just something I'm more curious about." Art didn't bother to explain to Lansha and Mamo, so he just perfunctoryly said it to the group of children: "You know Apple
Where does all the money for food come from?”
"I know!" A little girl with a ponytail lying on the second bed raised her hand and said, "I saw Apple Blossom's mother getting money from the cabinet in her room! I saw it a few days ago
When I went to her room to sleep, I saw it when I woke up in the morning!"
"Hey! That's not right! Didn't she put the money under the bed?"
"No! I've also seen her put a lot of money in the book!"
"Well, what about the money in the toilet too? I thought it belonged to Marin, so I took some..."
"No! That money is mine! Don't steal it!"
Obviously I only asked one question, but the scene suddenly became chaotic...
"Ahem, it's not like this." Art coughed awkwardly a few times, making the environment quiet again, and then asked: "What I want to ask is, who gave her the money, or where did she get it from?"
I took the money and came back here."
After breaking down the questions in detail, the children suddenly became quiet. You looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no answer.
"I, I seem to have seen it..." During the silence, the youngest girl raised her hand tremblingly and said: "That was, that was when I was shopping with my mother, and I saw it.
